Coach Talk

The Dirty Stoop
Listen The Dirty Stoop, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 148.63 points through Week 8, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 106.9 we needed for this past week's win!
Shea Faced
Trust us, Shea Faced... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all.
